The senator who moved the motion for the recently passed 'Sexual Offences Bill' has responded to professor Wole Soyinka's open letter..The nobel laureate slammed the bill for legalizing sex with 11 year olds. The new bill stipulates life imprisonment for any individual found guilty of rape or sexual intercourse with children under 11 years..
In her response,senator Chris Anyawu writes...
I have read your open letter published in a number newspapers and online papersNo one who read that letter could miss the fury embedded in your words. I know where that fury comes from: moral fiber, good conscience, and love of people. I want to assure you that it was the very same sentiments that drove me to come up with that bill and the same sentiments that led Senators and members to pass it.
